I despise ID. How could you conclude that I would think there is no need to look any further for scientific answers? Nothing could be further from what I believe. But the IDers, on the other hand, do want scientific inquiry to be under the realm of religion. My position is that of the Catholic Church's, that there are two realms of knowledge, that science is not a threat to faith. That is why we see that the Church has been one of the most important patrons of science throughout history.

You and I seem to have a different definition of "deeper answers". In my view, science is not about finding the deeper answers. Science is about learning how this universe functions - and often that will lead to profound discoveries, technological advances, improvements in medicine, etc, etc.

But those aren't the deeper answers - those can only be answered from within. What is the meaning of life, is there a God, what is ethical, and so on. Science cannot and should not answer those.
